Release Blitz - Review + Giveaway: What the Wind Knows by Amy Harmon

In an
unforgettable love story, a woman’s impossible journey through the ages could
change everything . . .

Anne
Gallagher grew up enchanted by her grandfather’s stories of Ireland.
Heartbroken at his death, she travels to his childhood home to spread his
ashes. There, overcome with memories of the man she adored and consumed by a
history she never knew, she is pulled into another time.

The
Ireland of 1921, teetering on the edge of war, is a dangerous place in which to
awaken. But there Anne finds herself, hurt, disoriented, and under the care of
Dr. Thomas Smith, guardian to a young boy who is oddly familiar. Mistaken for
the boy’s long-missing mother, Anne adopts her identity, convinced the woman’s
disappearance is connected to her own.

As
tensions rise, Thomas joins the struggle for Ireland’s independence and Anne is
drawn into the conflict beside him. Caught between history and her heart, she
must decide whether she’s willing to let go of the life she knew for a love she
never thought she’d find. But in the end, is the choice actually hers to make?

"There
are some paths that inevitably lead to heartache, some acts that steal men's
souls, leaving them wandering forever after without them, trying to find what
they lost."

It is official, Amy Harmon is
now one of my all time favorite authors. I am completely in awe and amazed with
her magical writing and storytelling abilities. I love all her books and her
contemporary and fantasy romance novels are amazing, but I find myself more
drawn to her historical novels. It's probably because I am obsessed with
history. What the Wind Knows focuses on the beautiful and heartbreaking history
of Ireland. Amy has made me fall in love with this country and its people. This
book was perfection from start until finish, it was so unique and original. I
felt every sentence deep in my heart, and I couldn't get enough.

"I
fell so fast, so hard, and so completely. Not because love is blind, but
because...it's not. Love isn't blind, it's blinding."

You'll probably have noticed
that the main character time travels into the past, and I am kind of
indifferent to that trope, but it was done very well by the author. The story
had a great pacing and flow, and the author had really done her research. The
character were amazing, and really brought the story to life. It was
suspenseful, emotional, heartbreaking, romantic, hopeful and inspiring. I was
on the edge of my seat and in tears half of the time. The story is so much more
than just a Romance novel. Anne was such an incredible character and my heart
wept for her and all the other characters. I know that my review is pretty
vague in regards to the plot, but you don't need to know more than what you
read in the synopsis. I recommend this book to everyone!

"It
is as if we always were and always will be, as though our love and our lives
sprang from the same source and will return to that source in the end,
intertwined and indistinguishable. We are ancient. Prehistoric and
predestined."
